Currently PageWriteback bit gets cleared from put_io_page() called from
ext4_end_bio(). This is somewhat inconvenient as extent tree is not
fully updated at that time (unwritten extents are not marked as written)
so we cannot read the data back yet. This design was dictated by lock
ordering as we cannot start a transaction while PageWriteback bit is set
(we could easily deadlock with ext4_da_writepages()). But now that we
use transaction reservation for extent conversion, locking issues are
solved and we can move PageWriteback bit clearing after extent
conversion is done. As a result we can remove wait for unwritt en extent
conversion from ext4_sync_file() because it already implicitely happe ns
through wait_on_page_writeback().
We implement deferring of PageWriteback clearing by queueing completed
bios to appropriate io_end and processing all the pages when io_end is
going to be freed instead of at the moment ext4_io_end() is called.
